S&M order arrived.









First time with them and quite pleased with the fit OTR. Pictured are 15.5 slim shirt and 40R in slim fit suit (medium blue texture). Also picked up a white shirt and medium grey suit in same sizes. Feel like the fit on the suit is perfect in the shoulders. No pulling across chest, collar gap or dimples in back. Could maybe bring it in slightly on sides. Length seems good. Need to shorten sleeves obviously. Anything else?

Pants need to be brought in at the waist maybe 1" and obviously hemmed. Debating if I should taper them slightly.

Dress shirt also fits well OTR. Love that the wrist fit is fairly tight. Definitely some extra fabric in the arms so shortening the sleeves is probably required. Otherwise I don't think anything else is needed.

Overall quite pleased with the quality and fit. Hard to go wrong w/ 2 quality shirts + suits for ~$930 CAD.

I was taking my colleague to the best shoe store in Oslo, so he could have a look at some Loakes or Carminas. My colleague left empty handed and I ended up leaving with a pair of Edward Green Berkeley in Antique dark oak. The most expensive shoes I have bought to date. The picture doesn't do the shoes justice at all.

Thanks, I was smiling like a child at Christmas the whole way back to the office. I got them at half price.

Got 2 shirts from spier & mackay; a denim with button-down collar and a white summer oxford.

Box showed up today with a really nice denim with button-down collar and.......a blue slub spread collar that isn't my size.

Already emailed them and I have absolutely no doubts that they'll make it right, and quickly. Obviously human error; someone inadvertently put the wrong shirt in the box. Not a huge deal, just a minor frustration. The denim fits perfectly though, so there's the silver lining.

Great shoe at a great price. Looking forward to the day I buy my first pair of EGs (Dovers, no doubt).

Thanks, Dovers in Chestnut Antique, the ultimate derby IMHO.
[MENTION=15101]armedferret[/MENTION]: That summer oxford is probably on its way soon! Gotta love S&M shirts.

[armedferret]

Aye, or at least it will be tomorrow or Tuesday I'm sure. It's the weekend, it's a holiday....I'm completely unconcerned.

Nice suit! Also is the shirt S&M? If so, which degree of blue is it? My last batch of blue dress shirts lean too close to white and I want something more mid-blue like you are wearing but some of their online picks scare me.

Shirt's from Charles Tyrwhitt. Their sky blue is a really nice shade of pale blue. I do have a couple S&M shirts and their light blue is nice as well.

Nice fit. Taking mine to the tailor next week I think.

Finally! After two long months, I finally got some shoes from Meermin that fit. They're a bit on the snug side and depending on how they break in, I may get a size up for my next pair, if I decide to buy from them again, but the suede is smooth with an even nap and dark chocolate brown color. Wearing them all day to break in!
